A queen platform bed built around solid wood rather than a metal skeleton dressed in fabric, finished in walnut with a matching wood headboard and footboard. The headboard is more than a visual cap on the frame, since it is solid enough to lean back against while reading rather than flexing away from the wall. Eight plywood slats span the platform and support a mattress evenly, which is what keeps a foam mattress from dipping between supports and what allows the frame to work without a box spring. The recommended mattress height for this frame is under 6 in of thickness. The whole structure is designed to stay silent: the joints hold tight rather than working loose, so there is none of the creaking that a bed develops after a few months of use, and a built-in retaining structure holds the mattress aligned instead of letting it drift toward one side of the frame overnight. In queen size the frame measures 84 in long by 64.5 in wide by 39 in tall with an 80.5 by 61 in sleeping platform, 13 in of clearance between the mattress surface and the headboard, and a 15.5 in footboard. The space underneath is left open for storage bins and shoes, and the clearance suits a robot vacuum passing through rather than being blocked at the rail. It carries up to 440 lbs, weighs 60.5 lbs, and is built from pine, engineered wood, and plywood. Assembly is required, and every part is numbered against an illustrated guide.
